Ironing tips
Minimising wrinkles while drying
Start wrinkle removal early in the drying process by spreading out the
laundry properly after washing. Put the garments on hangers to make them
dry naturally with less wrinkles.
Shirt ironing
Start with the time-consuming parts such as collar, cuff links and sleeves.
Next, iron the bigger parts like front and back. By doing this, you prevent
wrinkling the bigger parts when you are busy ironing the time-consuming
ones.
Collar: When you iron a collar, start on its underside and iron from the
outside (the pointy end) inwards. Turn over and repeat. Fold down the
collar and press the edge for a crisp finish.
Buttons: Iron on the reverse side of the buttons for more effective and
faster ironing.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning
1 Set the steam slider to the 'no steam' position, remove the plug from
the wall socket and let the iron cool down.
2 Wipe flakes and any other deposits off the soleplate with a damp
cloth and a non-abrasive (liquid) cleaning agent.
To keep the soleplate smooth, avoid hard contact with metal objects.
Never use a scouring pad, vinegar or other chemicals to clean the
soleplate.
3 Clean the upper part of the iron with a damp cloth.
4 Regularly rinse the water tank with water. Empty the water tank
after you have rinsed it.
